The purpose of this research is to know the political situation of the local kings of Pars state and their degree of independence during the Seleucid rule, as well as their relationship with the Seleucid rule.

This research, using historical method and analytical descriptive method, and relying on scattered written works and some archeological data, especially the coins of local kings of this period, tries to answer two questions: First, how far was the state of Pars? Was it under the rule of the Seleucids? And secondly, when this state gained independence, who was the first person who minted coins, and what was the sequence of subsequent kings?

Numismatic evidence shows that the first Fartreka minted coins in the period of Seleucus I. Also, this evidence changed the sequence of Fartrekas of Pars and introduces Ardashir as the first Fartreka of Pars. Accordingly, the successors after him are Wohubers, Bagdat, and Wadfardad, respectively.

to investigate and analyze why, how and identify the main approaches in holding the Ferdowsi Millennium ceremony in the most important capitals and cities of the world based on the documents and sources related to this period, along with the analysis of the results of the said ceremony at the global level.

The present article is written with a historical method and with a descriptive and analytical method and with the use of archival documents and library resources.

The Pahlavi government tried to provide an international image for its sovereignty through the celebration of Ferdowsi's millennium ceremony in the countries of the world and in this way increase its national prestige in other countries of the world, and at the same time, with the help of this ceremony, an image to display an efficient governance and show itself as the cause of the country's progress.

Early in the Pahlavi regime, the commercial activities of the foreign navy diminished in the region, but Bushehr’s trade trips to India and the Indian Ocean region were increased. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to investigate the reasons behind these trips and their termination.

This research was written with historical method and descriptive-analytical method and with the help of archival documents and documents of National Records Organization of Iran, documents of Bushehr Chamber of Commerce, library sources and author's interview with old captains..

The business trips of the people of Bushehr were a lasting legacy to meet the livelihood and needs of the region. Exports of dates and other goods to India and the need of the people living in the Persian Gulf for special wood in local architecture and shipbuilding and other essential supplies were the main reasons for these trips. Eventually, these trips were terminated with changing their procedure, the economic developments in the Persian Gulf countries and trade with these countries in the early 1972s.

In 1970 Mohammad Reza Shah dedicated Marmar Palace to the city of Tehran in order to form a museum of the Pahlavi dynasty in the building. This study investigates how the state palace turned into a museum and studies the narrative of the museum to clarify the relationship between the museum as a cultural institution and the ideology of the government. It also examines the role of Mohammad Reza Shah in the formation of the museum.

This research is written with historical method and descriptive-analytical method and using archival documents and library resources.

The research findings show that the Pahlavi Dynasty Museum was a cultural institution that was politically exploited. This museum was in fact an institution to propagate the ideology of the Pahlavi government, as well as a representation of the selective history of the government, its progress, and achievements to the nation and the world. In addition, this study shows that despite his minute role in the formation of cultural projects, Mohammad Reza Shah played a significant role in the design of this museum which reveals the importance of this museum for him.

This paper intends to find ontologies which are used in the museum domain. In addition, this article aims at extracting ontology applications in the museum domain by studying researches in that domain.

The method of this research is the systematic review and contains two major parts: the first part is searching of researches in the museum domain, and the second part contains survey and analysis of research findings.

The result of this research shows that there are some ontologies in the museum domain. Besides the ontology have several applications in the museum domain. For example, information interoperability in museums, facilitating information access and retrieval. Furthermore, the results indicate that there is a research gap in the ontology for the museum domain in Iran. Because there are only two researches in the ontology in cultural heritage domain in Persian, which are related to the archaeology domain.

To measure the usability of finding aids in the form of search, author, topic and title fields in the software of National Library and Archives of Iran from the users' viewpoint of view.

The current descriptive research is practical in terms of purpose and has been carried out in a quasi-experimental manner. Data collection techniques included verbal reports (thinking aloud) and direct observation during tasks; a questionnaire was used to collect demographic information; the research community was formed by novice and expert users of the National Library and Archives. Users expressed their opinions after completing the tasks with a post-test survey.

The tools were more usable for expert users compared to novice users. Compared to expert users, novice users had more difficulty completing tasks due to a lack of familiarity with archive vocabulary and how to search in the software. About 60% of the participants easily completed the "search" and "author" fields. Although the most effective was related to the "author" field, its completion was unsuccessful among 10% of users. The lowest and highest time averages were related to the "Title" and "Subject" fields, respectively. Generally, the tools are usable for users and their usability can be increased through training and using the guide. At the time of data entry, terminology and user-friendliness of tools are important. Users perform their searches with usable finding aids and reduce the need for intermediaries.
